Beschreibungen
Visceral, haunting and full of passion, verve and wit, this new collection from one of Scotland's most original voices examines and explores the soul of humanity. Written with the same anarchic spirit of the Beat generation, the poems here respond to themes of identity, place, love and the unloved. A Swan's Neck on a Butcher's Block is an achingly honest, vivid collection that dares to challenge ideas of what it is to live and to be alive.
